india DGCA ATPL exam
AZAX,
Instead of simply giving you the solutions, I have provided two very similar questions and worked solutions below.
Please go through these and then try to answer your two questions.
SCALE 6.
On a direct Mercator projection, at latitude 45° North, a certain length represents 70 NM. At latitude 30° North, the same length represents approximately?
a. 86 nm.
b. 75 nm.
c. 45 nm.
d. 90 nm.
This type of problem can be solved using the standard equation:
Distance at A / Distance at B = Cos A / Cos B
This can be rearranged to give:
Distance at B = (Distance at A x Cos B) / Cos A
Where A and B are latitudes.
For this question use A = 45 N, and Distance at A = 70 nm
And B = 30 N, and distance at B is to be calculated
Inserting these values into the equation gives:
Distance at B = (70 nm x Cos 30) / Cos 45 = 85.73 nm or approximately 86 nm (option a).
CHART THEORY 8.
What is the constant of the cone for a Lambert's Conic projection whose standard parallels are at 50 degrees North and 70 degrees North?
a. 0.866.
b. 0.500.
c. 0.941.
d. 0.766.
The constant of the cone is equal to the sine of the parallel of origin.
The parallel of origin is midway between the two standard parallels.
So in this question
Parallel of origin = (50 + 70) / 2 = 60N
Constant of the cone = sine of 60 = 0.866 (option a).

Cancelled???
System crashed or paper leaked?
And was this only with Nav or even with ATLCG??
Also do we still have to wait 2 months for the results to come out??

Hey guys
Taken from the professional pilot training thread
Here is a link to the EASA (aka JAA ) ATPL (A) syllabus .
The DGCA also copies its questions from the EASA syllabus
SO here you go
EASAbank.eu, the free QCB v.15 for european airplane pilots

See now this is when it gets stupid!
When you dont know whats happening! Thats because now that NAV got cancelled, theres no idea about whats going to happen to the next exam aka MeT and RadAids.
Are they cancelled too?
First they delay it by a month and now Crashes like such! Where do i run and hide?!

Had the exam in Mumbai at 1500hrs. All done smoothly. Few stations crashed or the internet was down, but they were back online in no time. This must be a localized issue with the Delhi center.
Any idea when the results will be declared? It's an online exam, they should ideally give you your result as soon as you terminate the exam!!
Also, does anyone know what the validity of these ATPL exams is? Is it 2.5 years or 5 years?

also the paper was decently set.. not tht i studied or anything! haha... but the stuff asked wasnt from Mars...
heard ppl mention Keith Williams was where the questions had come... wish id done tht...
anyways did the paper actually get cancelled in Delhi and Chennai??
any clue about Radio Aids guys???/
cheers...

Again taken from the professional pilot training thread
This website will let you practice any topics from the JAA ATPL exams
The question bank is similar to that of the previous question bank which i had given a few posts above
It shows the questions either as flash cards or as multiple choice questions
Very good for applying your knowledge
Please report back here if you see any of these questions for your DGCA exams

on 19th @Venue 3 in Delhi.
During the last half of the Nav paper, the invigilators came in and said, "We have got a message from DGCA and they say that you can leave the hall and your computers as it is"
so when some asked, is it cancelled?
they say we don't know but they say you can leave the hall.
Many students couldn't log in the system at all for the entire 2.5 hours until this message was broadcast'ed.
They finally said, they will let you know about this through their website aka DGCA website.
So this is what happened! I guess its normal everywhere else so well, back to studying!

The meteorology exam (morning session) started late(at around 1130) but there were no glitches after it began.
The afternoon session met exam went smoothly till the first 45mins(cannot comment for the whole duration because i left early)
